LECTURE

The lecture explains how to use the lasso tool, pen tool, and layering in Photoshop. Toolbox. Photoshop provides several tool sets in the Toolbox, which you can expand to display additional tools.

The first tool explained is the Lasso tool, which allows you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of your document. When you click the Lasso tool from the toolbar, you will see three different tool options: Lasso, Polygonal Lasso, Magnetic Lasso

The Lasso tool is ideal for use with the Graphics Input Board because it is similar to a pencil.

Next, we were shown how to use the Pen tool, which is most often chosen when creating paths. It's worth remembering that the fewer points there are, the smoother the path will be.

Finally, we were introduced to layers, which are different images stacked together. We can select each layer to work on without affecting the others. The advantage of using layers is that you can save a Photoshop file that contains all the layers. This means you can use layers for non-destructive editing. Layers contain all the extra information or images you want to add to the original file.

WEEK 3: PRACTICAL

This week Mr. Fauzi showed us how to use Photoshop to create an electronic collage. In the lesson, Mr. Fauzi showed us how to use the pen tool to key in to complete the electronic collage. Mr. Fauzi provided us with some footage to use for the electronic collage. I used the golden section composition when designing the collage and these are the three electronic collages I made.

FEEDBACK

In the third week, the professor helped us choose the best one from three 3D collages and asked us to paste it on. The professor also taught us how to arrange the collage and demonstrated it. Then he showed us how to make an electronic collage and how to use the pen tool to cut out the image.
